Ways to print up to 10 pages for free at York.
If you go to the computer lab next to the library you will be able to print up to 10 pages for free. All you have to do is sign in. Keep in mind that if you use Microsoft 07 you may have trouble retrieving your document, but there is always some one there to help you. This computer lab is run by the student government, fyi.

How to reset CUNY Portal ID
Since I have attended York I have had a problem accessing CUNY Portal.
For some services, the site allows you to enter in your last name, first name and SSN. But for most other services (i.e. To take credits at another college, CPE results) you need CUNY Portal ID and password.
To get a new ID and password and access your York College Email account, go to room 2E03. You can also get your laptop computer hooked up into the school's wireless internet (WiFi) so that you can have internet access while on campus.*And...It takes less than 5 minutes*
I'm not sure what time they close..if anyone knows their hours or other services that they provide, be sure to post it up.

How to write a good thesis?
Making sure that its clearly stated. Needs to be specific, focus and concise.
It needs to be something that can be argued and certainly doesn't state the obvious.
